    Sorry about that @Johnboy412000. For some reason your comments went into our comment queue. It can sometimes happen and it's nothing you've done wrong. I've released one now 😊

    Ok thanks. Why does that happen.

    Sometimes it'll catch comments when they're quite long but in your case I'm not sure @Johnboy412000. It's just a quirk of technology I think!

    I missed that one Johnboy, but this was a cracker from last year:

    Grimsby Town 2-2 Manchester United (Town won 12-11 on penalties) – Carabao Cup Second Round

    On a famous August evening at Blundell Park, the Mariners produced one of the greatest results in the club’s 148-year history by knocking Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup.

    I am a lifelong Mariners supporter, and it was one of the funniest matches I've ever seen! 🤣

    Hello :) I think England will win. Argentina play very slow and very centrally, without width. England should be able to contain that. A slow game will suit England who play slow football themselves and I think England will be able to get through this. I also think it will unfortunately be a dirty game though, I do think Argentina are going to try and get a player sent off. If England go down to 10 I think Argentina will win but if it stays equal number England should have enough

    it’s their own fault. Every time they go in front they stop playing. Not good enough

    It's not coming home this time. Disappointed but what will be will be. Try for the bronze on Saturday night. I hope Spain go on to win on Sunday night. We still have the Lionesses hopefully they'll qualify for next year's women's world cup. I'm Disappointed of course. I thought we were almost there when we scored. Pickford was tested a few times.

    Would the World Cup not be more at 'home' in Buenos Aires? Argentina have won it 3 times to date. 😉

    BTW, Jordan Pickford is an amazing goalkeeper. 👍️

    They never learn. It is the same problem tournament after tournament. Whenever they go in front they stop. They also have a historical problem with running forwards with and without the football which I’ve kept saying throughout. Really, they shouldn’t have been in this semi-final. They showed against Ghana in the group stage they were not good enough to win the World Cup. Argentina as well haven’t been great. On tonight’s showing though they deserved to win and England will once again not learn from this. I predict the same at the next Euros: sideways, slow football with lack of initiative. And if they score first they will stop playing altogether. It’s a historical problem

    Argentina face the prospect of disciplinary action from Fifa after their players celebrated the World Cup semi-final win against England with a banner in support of their country's claims to the Falkland Islands.

    Disrespectful but I can't see what FIFA can do to punish them only a heavy fine. It's not gunna change anything.

    I understand why they move to play defensively when they have the lead and it has paid off for them up until last night, but I think Argentina expected it and it played right into their hands.

    Disappointing result but I'm still proud of our boys!

    They did so well, throughout the whole tournament. Absolutely gutted, but we lost to one of the best.
